I'm a pretty intelligent gal, so I get bored easily and come up with things to occupy my time. Generally these things are shenanigans of some sort. I am currently doing two types of these.
First is a contest, details here:
Second, I'm going around the dA projects forum requesting/paying small points amounts for ridiculous things. So far I've requested Bettie Page arm-wrestling a bear and I'm about to pay for a three-way high-five between a shark, a dwarf, and a robot.
IF YOU WANT TO DRAW SOMETHING RIDICULOUS FOR ME, let me know. I'm not paying a ton. Like, 1-50 points, depending. This is because I don't expect you to make this amazingly awesome museum-quality piece of the ridiculous things I come up with. Let me know and I will come up with something just for you.
Anyway, I'm finally making headway on all my projects, and then bam - old friend from high school/college era contacts me about doing a poster design for a talent show her work is holding. I've got a deadline of two weeks so that's got to come before everything else. I don't think it'll take me two weeks, but you never know. I always overestimate how long it'll take me to do something.

Yes, I'm still alive.
Between this and business, I'm a very busy woman . . . I'm currently working on several different pieces for several different people. They should start to show up in my gallery shortly; including a special Halloween one and one for Thanksgiving. :) I haven't disappeared completely!
Once I've finished up that batch, I'll reopen commissions and will only keep them open til the end of the year, when they'll close indefinitely as a result of the fact that I'll be about done gestating this fetus thing I've got going on here. I don't want to end up taking on commissions I won't be able to finish in a reasonable amount of time. People I've worked
Commissions closed for the time being
Due to the following factors, I'm closing commissions for a while:
1. My cat stole my tablet pen, which I haven't been able to find and now need to replace - not money I wanted to spend, but c'est la vie. This already has me backed up on the work I've got slated for me. Ridiculous, but it's true.
2. A family member is having surgery this week and I will have to balance caring for them with my main business, my commissions, and taking care of the Little Dame.
3. The entire Classy Family is buying a house, closing in just a few weeks, and we have to pack up everything and move - owning our own place is awesome, but it is definitely a time si
No username change here!
Because classy-dame suits me and suits my approach to all this. However, if anyone happens to see this who interacts with me and HAS changed their username, leave a message here and tell me who the heck you are, so I know for future reference.
I currently have a queue of 5 paid commissions; that's what's keeping me absent - and business is going well in my Etsy shop so I'm a very, very busy dame these days. If I haven't replied to your comment/message/email, don't worry - you're not forgotten. :) I'll get caught up soon!
Stay classy!
Some stuff about drawing/improvement
I've had a few people ask me for tips and stuff with drawing, and since I am not the world's greatest artist and I am still learning on a daily basis, I'd like to point folks to my tutorial/reference favorites folder here:
http://classy-dame.deviantart.com/favourites/46793867?offset=0
There's a ton of great stuff in there - posing, hands/feet, expressions, coloring/shading, and I think a tutorial on lineart. :)
The thing is, it's all of these (and a lot of just searching for tutorials on google, youtube, etc) that's lead me this far. I've taken everything that works for me and added it to how I do things. The way I color, for example, is s

Suggestion because I too am bored. Sports car parked in driveway of a house on a hill/mountain. It's about midnight. In the twisty, curvy road below in the background, there are headlights on both side of the road facing the same direction. (Implying the cars are racing.) The uppermost window of the house is the only one with a light on, the curtain is closed, but in silhouette it appears there are two people making love. The car says, "Not now, HE always picks the worst time to act up. "
